How We Ship

The Murray's Cut Process

Every day, the expert cheese cutters at Murray’s Cheese select the perfect wheels from our caves and cut your cheese to order. Each order is cut inside of our state-of-the-art clean room. Cutting cheese at Murray’s is an art, not a science, so while your piece may be slightly over or slightly under what you ordered, you can rest assured that it was cut just for you.

Wrap Process

Your cheese is wrapped in our specially-produced cheese paper. The paper is lined with a breathable layer to allow the cheese to continue maturing while en route to your door. The breathable paper prevents the cheese from being suffocated, but also prevents it from drying out.

State of the Art Packaging

Every order is packed in a thermal lined box with reusable food-friendly gel packs. The goal is for the cheese to arrive to you cool to cold. Remember, cheese cannot be frozen.

Shipping Fresh to Your Doorstep

Depending on the contents of your order and the destination of your shipment, you'll be offered One Day, Two Day or Ground shipping at checkout. Since some of our cheeses can only be in transit for 1 Day, One Day shipping may be your only option. If you're ordering harder cheeses or grocery items, you may be offered 2 Day or Ground. Finally, if you're ordering very heavy items like pickles or large cheese boards, Ground may be the ONLY option offered to you. You can always call us (1-888-692-4339) with special shipping questions or concerns.

The Periship Guarantee

Murray’s Cheese is partnered with PeriShip, a value added logistics provider, exclusive to FedEx, and industry leader in the management of perishable shipments. Once your order leaves Murray’s, PeriShip will monitor it and keep you informed of any changes or issues. PeriShip utilizes a wide array of resolution capabilities, to manage shipments that encounter extended transit times, ensuring your cheese arrives in peak condition, even if weather or other issues intervene.

When mastering your region's local traditions just isn't enough. Cabra Romero is made by Lorenzo, our producer of choice for the Murcian favorite Cabra al Vino (drunken goat) cheese. This relatively new production riffs on the popularity of herb-crusted cheeses; in the final days of aging, the pasteurized goat cheese is rubbed with a fair quantity of rosemary and lard. The essence of the herb permeates and complements the tangy-sour cheese. Enjoy with a light, fruity red.

Pairing Recommendations

Pour a glass of...

Strong Beers

Barleywine, Old Ale, Strong Ale, Scotch Ale

Big and intense, with an alcohol punch to match, don’t underestimate any of these guys. Flavors will favor the malty side of the spectrum, with dark fruit, leather, and tobacco notes common. You will taste the booze. And it will be delicious. Pair with: A cheese equally big in flavor. Dunbarton Blue has subtle bluing and a savory-sweet gouda flavor that will be a perfect match for these tough brews.

Chianti

Chianti is named for a region in Italy, and is actually made from a blend of grapes (mostly Sangiovese). This dry, medium-bodied wine has a distinct herbal quality (think rosemary and oregano) with flavors of dried plums and cherries. Pair with: An herb-crusted cheese like Hudson Flower or a young Tuscan Pecorino.

Pinot Grigio

A lighter, crisper white wine. Tends to be refreshing and fruity, with aromas of stone fruit, peach, quince, and lemon.Pair with: Creamy goat or mixed milk cheese with a crisp acidic element. La Tur or Brunet are great alongside the fruit-tart flavors of the wine.
